I dont think that’s feasible.

I literally do not give a fuck about the camera. I hardly ever use it. It’s so frustrating that wanting a large screens with a high refresh rate means I also have to pay for all those stupid camera gimmicks. :(

Yes but the iPhone 15 Pro is the small model. The small Pixel 8 (the regular one) is even cheaper.

So if you (like me) want a big high refresh rate screen, the iPhone is way more expensive.

as an example, let’s compare Apples reputation with Google and Samsung - the companies making the leading android flagships in the iPhone pro line price range:

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is 300€ more expensive than my Pixel 8 Pro was…

Great excuse to buy an OLED!

He’s right that Windows’ ARM story is still a mess in the absence of anything remotely resembling Rosetta 2. I am looking forward to Qualcomm laptops running Linux, however.

It can emulate x86 & x86_64 software just fine.

It’s the only reason Apple even exists today.

Monopolies are definitely a problem for consumers. It allows Apple to get away with high prices for example.

The PS4 Pro was released 7 years ago for 500€.

The cheapest M3 MacBook Pro in 2023 costs 2000€.

Are you seriously trying to argue that getting the same amount of memory 7 years later for 4x as much money is acceptable?

Fine, then don’t. That’s how choice works.

The age of the shitty spammy store is upon us. It’s going to be a fucking nightmare for the unofficial family IT support crew. It’s hard enough keeping my parents phones and Macs clean and working. But, as they still use things like printers they are about to have to install a shitty HP store just to print a train ticket.

Android has had this for over a decade and 99% of people only use the Play Store.

Nice!
